You've grown wiser.

The mean girls always become nurses.

Your parents were teachers, too?

i honestly didnt care at some point. i just said im going to the toilet, if they want to punish me, they could do it when im back

(Maths?) I still am.

I have to say I actually do like knowing that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and that Athens and Sparta fought the Peloponnesian War and that the square root of 144 is 12. Yeah none of this helps me in my day to day life but school introduced me to many ideas and facts that I'm very happy to know.

I dont know about some other countries but in Netherlands if you choose economics they actually do explain about taxes.

This. The pledge is so dumb. I never, ever stand for it. Had several teachers yell at me for it, but you just get numb to it after awhile. America is taking my rights and you want me to worship it?? Hell naw

At 57, still is... but then swearing and cussing about stupid things 'co'workers do which mess up my job.

Omg not the f*****g barkers. They're the same ones who'll grab each others' asses while still somehow being homophobic

Same guy still does that. Only now he also wears a hoodie.

Usually the same guy who wears a knit beanie in the summer

I was that kid. Still am. Never a jacket even if it's below freezing.

Let me just complain that back at school my classmate found an app that controlled the ac and made our lives a living hell

That kid delivers mail now.

This was me

Last year I picked up a kid from middle school every day. I had to wait in line, so he often waited 5-10 minutes after he got out. He never wore a coat, but blamed me for "letting him stand out in the cold" ... I:

I used to be that kid...shorts or skirts...until I was in my late 30's. I've always been heat sensitive. But now I'm heat AND cold sensitive. I live for Autumn, and sometimes very early Spring.

He's now 51 and also my husband.

That was my son. Walked to school through the snow wearing basketball shorts, a t-shirt, and a hoodie with his socks and sneakers. At 25 he still isn't bothered by cold.

I have a pic of my oldest on his college campus (their newsletter and city newspaper) of him walking to class in shorts on a snowy day. So, yeah, he's def my weird child (but lord do I love that weirdo!!)

If you live in Canada I can guarantee that at least 10% of boys dress like it's summer in the middle of January and wear full jogging suits in July, one of these idiots would be my child

I wear shorts all the time unless going to work. PS - I live in Nevada

Hoodie on top shorts on the bottom

Knew a guy in college that did this…ironically, his name was Guy. He said it was because he was used to the cold from playing hockey. He hadn’t played hockey in almost 10 years at that point…

Mile Monday's were a horrible invention. My friends and I would just walk around the track while talking and ignoring the PE teacher who was yelling at us to run.

Married to High School Sweetheart. Going on 22 years together. We actually had middle school 6th grade class together and choir but i dont rmbr him then. Whoops sorry Love.

That would be Shakespeare

In my school you had a shower after, it was just a big shower block with no curtains and all the girls had to shower in there, I would of rather been sweating and stinky all day than having to go through that as a teenager, it was so degrading.

And her name is always Emily.

7:30am? It’s still dark in the winter! Kids are a waste of time before 9 am!

Come to South Africa, when you are shopping and loadshedding starts, no one screams, they just take out their phones to carry on shopping while the generator kicks in.

Bragging about how you hurt your bodies is something to be neither ashamed nor proud of. I frankly think that most teenagers' sleep cycles and school timing are utterly incompatible, like I cannot imagine wanting to do Math at 7 am. On top of that, excessive homework, assignments, and exams to study for that takes up a lot of time along with other activities. With that being said, please recognize that sleep is important for you no matter your age. You're not tough for being able to survive on four hours, it's not funny just because it's a relatable experience, and you're actually being less productive and not more because sleep deficiency impedes your cognitive abilities along with many other side-effects. Start small, aim for consistency rather than an instant fix. Your body works day and night to help you survive, please give it the rest it deserves.

I went to a Catholic school in Spain. 1980, I remember one kid being dragged out of clase by a priest teacher, desk and all and being kicked like a football. Priests drags the kid away screaming , comes back, puts the desk in back in its place and carried on. Never saw the kid again. I'd only been in Spain for a few months and spoke little Spanish so I never found out what's he said or what happened to him.

Why tho? School in the UK starts at 9:30-ish. Were you finishing at lunchtime?!

Anxiety...

For Christmas they used to stuff the entire school into the gym and force us to sing songs or get detention.. ``\0.0/``

I could SMASH on those little chocolate milks.

At one point in my life my older sister worked at Chick-Fil-A, and she said that they are mostly home school (like herself).

That's because the other football team had a player that did the same thing and God had to make a choice
